Articial Prosthetics<br />
Over the years, the traditional prosthetics have been extensively<br />
used in most of the cases. But not many people can afford<br />
them. People from rural areas as well as those that are living in<br />
a warzone have limited access to healthcare, and available<br />
prosthetics can be pretty expensive for them. In such cases, 3D<br />
printed prosthetics pose as a better alternative- it can be made in a<br />
shorter time as well as less cost as opposed to traditional ones. Pieces<br />
can be forged and created according to the needs such as household<br />
use, physical activities, driving, etc. Since no two human bodies are<br />
identical, these new-age prosthetics can be customized differently, from<br />
the point of their aesthetics, tting, size as per the convenience of the<br />
patient, and efciency. Its extreme exibility and ability to adapt to<br />
numerous materials makes it perfect for everything, including, prosthetic<br />
skin, hearing aid molds, dental, and orthopedic implants.<br />
Shaping the Learning Environment in Surgery<br />
Human bodies are unique, our anatomy is the same but still, there<br />
are many differences we have in severalorgans, say liver. Liver has a<br />
complex structure of arteries, veins, bile ducts. Any misplaced cut<br />
while operating on it can lead to drastic results, and sometimes even<br />
death. To deal with such scenarios, a very prestigious doctor from<br />
Cleveland Clinic has along with his team put forth the concept of the<br />
organ models. These dummy models are made with materials that<br />
would not only resemble the organs but behave in a way that the<br />
organs do during the surgery. It will help the doctors to devise better<br />
surgery plans. Also, such 3D printed organ models can help the students<br />
understand its complexity, practically. As these organs function as if they<br />
are real, allowing students to perform operations, repeatedly. This<br />
printing organ model if integrated into hospitals can provide a pragmatic<br />
experience for students.<br />
